If you wish to delete an entry on your return.

  1. Log into your account and select "continue my return"
  2. Once in the return, click on "My Account
  3. click on "Tools"
  4. click on "Delete a Form"
  5. A list of all forms currently being used for your return will appear. Scroll down the list and pick the correct form.
  6. If the entry is not a form, go to the entry and change the incorrect information.

I purchased the turbotax disk, downloaded it. I am away from home and do not have the disc. There are no "my account" or "Tools" buttons or any other options.

I am trying to delete or correct an incorrect entry in "Enter Prior Year Roth IRA Contribution" but nothing seems to work. Can you advise?

Since you must be using the downloaded version at this time of the year ... switch to the FORMS mode and seek the worksheet for the incorrect entry to delete it at that point.   Then switch back to the step by step mode to continue data entry.

Simplest way is to return to the 1099-R section  and on the summary screen - delete the 1099-R and then re-enter as a new 1099-R.
